Mentor Training

Each district is required to provide all tier II license holders, who have less than three years of full-time teaching experience, a licensed mentor who successfully completed an approved mentor training. This workshop provides mentors with specific skills, strategies, and tools needed to successfully mentor a new colleague and emphasizes the following basic principles:

• A period of induction is important for all initial educators
• A common vision is important to define effective educator practices
• The professional relationship between the initial educator and the mentor is  critical to the success of the induction program
• Initial educator’s attitudes and professional practice are dynamic; effective mentors align their support to educator needs
• Effective mentoring includes crucial conversations about improving professional practice
• Mentors help initial educators reflect and develop professional goals
